Marvel vs. Capcom Origins coming September 25th

We've been hearing about Marvel vs. Capcom Origins since at least July, but now we can confirm the classics compilation is getting released to PSN and XBLA, for $15 and 1200 MS points, September 25th. Expect a marked decrease in productivity from our usually prolific staff member Jeremy Duff, as I'm sure he'll be putting his custom arcade sticks to good use when this collection hits XBLA. This is the first time we're getting Marvel Super Heroes for download, and if you already have Marvel vs. Capcom 2 on XBLA or PSN this fills out the collection nicely. Now, if only we could get X-Men: Children of the Atom.
